Update

Haley's 9 month doctor visit was last week and it went pretty well. She weighed in at 13 lbs 8 oz which sadly is even farther under the curve than she already was. The doctor said that she often sees a plateau in weight gain at around 9 months, but since Haley was already small, she was concerned that there might be something else going on. So, instead of the heel prick that she was supposed to get, she had to have blood drawn from her arm for multiple tests. It was sad watching her in pain and, the even sadder part, the phone call saying that they didn't get enough blood and that they'd have to do it again. She actually had to have blood drawn again anyway though because the first results that came back showed an issue with her thyroid hormones. We went to a different lab on Saturday and it was an amazing difference! It was fast, Haley didn't cry as much and they got more than double the amount of blood. And, the great news this morning...her thyroid hormones, and everything else they tested for, is normal!
